[niharya]

i was thinking a thread where you post the lyrics of your favourite song'd be kinda cool, so...heres' mine...

DEAD FLOWERS
The Rolling Stones

"Well, when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Well, you're sitting back
In your pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the US mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave"

My favorite meaningful song!!

This was an interesting question. My favorite bands are KISS, AC/DC, Tesla, Cinderella and Aerosmith. However, when thinking of my favorite song lyrics, I would have to go with Lynyrd Skynyrd's Simple Man. I currently live in Dallas, Texas with my wife and kids. It is a busy city where everyone tends to be in a hurry. This rushed life style seems to make everyone cranky and inconsiderate. I am originally from East Texas and grew up in the country. I can’t wait until I am financial secure enough to go back. This song seems to sum up how I feel when it says "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold" and "be a simple kind of man".

Simple Man
(Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant)


Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

[Chorus:]
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

[Chorus]

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

[Chorus]

Too Wild to Tame (by Dirty Dan Buck & The Boyzz):

baby don't you leave me
honey don't you ask me why
just give me a few more seconds
before i slip between your thighs

cos I'm too wild, too wild to tame...

[Baz]

The Police - Synchronicity 2 ...

Secrateries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
And all he ever thinks to do is watch...

The whole song is a lyrical master piece

[Baz]

Oh yeh, Synchronicity 2

...'and every single meeting with his so-called superiors is a humiliating kick in the crotch ..'

...and then something about 'many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scotish Loch' . Weird lyrics. I think it's to do with Chaos theory .. equal and opposite reactions and all that stuff

Listen to I Caught Fire (Album Version) by The Used : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/13762148

best lyrics ever! these guys can write song killer tunes.

[ruby]

From one of my favorite songs:

"The sunshine bores the daylights outta me"

Rocks Off - The Rolling Stones

[Aidan]

The chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit, real energy.

[JBDJ]

I always loved the line from Adam & the Ants track Dog Eat Dog

"makes me proud, so proud of you, i see innocence shinning through"

the man wrote superb songs with Marco Pirroni.

Stand & Deliver the 1st record i ever bought

[leethev]

Not really a rock song but i always liked thr line from Prefab sprouts moving the river - see you've got a new girlfriend, hows the wife taking it. also elvis costello two little hitlers - i thought ide let you down, but you were just deflated. I really think a lot of his lyrics are clever.

[Aidan]

I always thought that line from Dog Eat Dog was : " I see the sun shining through" - there ya go !

Nena - 99 Red Balloons


You and I in a little toy shop

Buy a bag of balloons

With the money we've got

Set them free at the break of dawn

'Til one by one, they were gone

Back at base, bugs in the software

Flash the message

"Something's out there"

Floating in the summer sky

99 red balloons go by



99 red balloons

Floating in the summer sky

Panic bells, it's red alert

There's something here

From somewhere else

The war machine springs to life

Opens up one eager eye

Focusing it on the sky

Where 99 red balloons go by



99 Decision Street

99 ministers meet

To worry, worry, super-scurry

Call the troops out in a hurry

This is what we've waited for

This is it boys, this is war

The president is on the line

As 99 red balloons go by



[Instrumental Interlude]



99 Knights of the air

Ride super-high-tech jet fighters

Everyone's a Silverhero

Everyone's a Captain Kirk

With orders to identify

To clarify and classify

Scramble in the summer sky

As 99 red balloons go by



As 99 red balloons go by



99 dreams I have had

In every one a red balloon

It's all over and I'm standin' pretty

In this dust that was a city

If I could find a souvenier

Just to prove the world was here

And here is a red balloon

I think of you and let it go

[MommaMystique]

Hold on To My Heart... Crimson Idol.... WASP

Chorus is ..... well read it.... it just is........

Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to my
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
Hold on to my heart, to my heart, to my
oo-oo-oo-oo-oo.
Oh no... dont let me go
Coz all I am you hold in your hands.
Hold me and I'll make it through the night
And I'll be alright
So just hold on
Hold on to my heart.

Freakin fantastic!
